The Enermax Modu87+ PSU arrives in a plain, yet alluring black and gold box with the output capacity of the unit on the bottom right corner.
The package inside is substantial, with multiple leaflets detailing various aspects of product literature. We always appreciate Enermax bundles, they supply everything you could ever want with their power supplies.
Seperating the individual packages. We have the PSU (doh), a storage pouch (for easy storage of left over cables you might not need), cable tidy, a UK power plug as well as a sticker, retention clip, mounting screws and all the modular cabling.
Enermax supply a manual with the unit, which is useful for inexperienced builders, and they also supply a product catalogue, if you need to expand your system build into other areas. We will be looking at their new, impressive fan range very shortly also.
Above are the modular cables supplied with the unit. There are as follows:
Enermax include a lovely little cable pouch which holds all the modular cables supplied. You will be using some of them however, but its nice to know the pouch can hold everything if you are ever moving system builds at a later date.
Bright enough for you? This is certainly for those who love the ‘in your face' colours, and others who feel it is perhaps a little gaudy. Me? I like it.
The paint quality is what I would expect from Enermax, beautifully finished throughout with attention to detail on every surface.

The more observant among you will already notice the incredible 12V capacity which totals 696W. You can basically drain all the power from the PSU into the 12V rails. Thats realistically an impossible situation mind you, but in theory quite impressive.
A quick look at the modular cable connectors on the front of the unit. Red are for PCI-E Cables and black are for peripherals. They are all connected to the 12V2 and 12V3 rails.
Hardwired connectors are all linked to the 12V1 line.
I have this power supply. I got it on sale for £120 locally. I love it. As you say wouldn’t even know its on.
That gold fan is intense. Not sure if I like it or not. I might need to get a pair of baggy jeans, and a gold tooth and maybe a baseball cap on backwards and start rapping.
Great results though, dont think ive ever seen a PSU score 90% in efficiency across such a broad range.
Amazing to see such high efficiency levels. They dont make them now like they used to, when 80% was an achievement.
Enermax are quality, I noticed some soldering issues on a few of their last range myself, but they seem better now. technically very well created supplies, good all round.
Great unit indeed, some brilliant results in your testing. Its a tad on the expensive side though, especially with such good competition lately from Thermaltake and Antec. still recommended though.
Great review that is a hell of a PSU, bit costly but probably worth it.
thats a great review and I like the looks, its very bling, would look good with some case lighting bouncing off it !
I dont think we really hear of any issues with Enermax, I would say with corsair right now they are the best.
Enermax make quality products, looking forward to seeing some info on their new fans too.
It really is too much cash though, 150 here can get me a 900w PSU or more. its great etc but its quite expensive.
Its only expensive if you dont value the quality. there is quite a lot of internal progress with this range, the efficiency levels are very very high.
I need a new power supply but I will probably go for the 775W thermaltake you guys reviewed weeks ago, its £50 less. I like quality but I also need to eat 🙂
quite funny, I was looking for a review of this and went onto google, not coming to the site this morning as I usually do. First in the google search ! I laughed.
Anyway, nice PSU, great results, but I need to work out if I can afford to buy it this month now.
this is very good testing, the 12v rail performance is exceptional, I like this a lot. I shall buy one next payday. thank you very much
awesome review KG. efficiency is very high which I like to see, as my electic bill is already mental.
